Gated how 10 feed and water a horse, and
to comprehend the reasons for each action
of Withholding food or water at certain
times. The best horsemen do not water a
horse for an hour and half or two hours
after eating. The old saying is that a
horse has more sense than a man-as he
will not drink too much. This is one of
the greatest mistakes IN the care of the
horse. He will drink too much when
heated and the stomach empty. He will
also drink too much when the first heat
caused by digestion commences. Study
these questions, and learn how to feed and
water horses during the heated term which

Reoinnno ne stoch business.

Ny beginning in the stock business was
humble enough. | got few Plymouth
Rock chickens, and sold eggs enough to
buy two little pigs. Then l got a SOW.
We saved everythingl All the dish water
was poured into the swill barrel, and grain
or mill feed mixed with it. We gave the
pigs plenty of green food, and crowded
them right up to the market. They helped
us 10 buy young COW and calf The
skim milk went to the pigs, and the sur
plus butter helped out our little treasury.
In due time pair of weaving mare colts
could be bought. At two years old they
did considerable work, and at three years
they were II good, trusty team. 1t was
easy enough to multiply and improve this
stock after 1t was once paid for. 1t was
like young mans fortune; the first 500
comes the hardest. 1t has been my motto
in breeding stock, If ] could not afford to
pay for the services of a thoroughbred
male, to wait till | could, rather than send
TO scrub and run in debt. This policy has
paid me we'll. Hundreds of farmers never
get good start. They don't turn the
waste into gain, and they won't look after
little things. t., IN Rt0-ai NelO Yorker.

BEE-KEEPING.
Firing the Price Of Honey.

Mr.. George T. Robbins, of Mechanics
burgh, H., writes the Bee journal in this
sensible style about the union of producers
to regulate the price of honey: Il pre-
sumo if the business was all in the hands
of specialists, and grocers would handle it,
and their customers purchase it at prices
fixed, such pool might be etfectual. But
those are the rubs. In the first place,
very few will purchase honey at any price.
A leading grocer told me that he had sold
considerable honey at ~ cents that he
would not otherwise have sold at all. But
he could see that 1t cut into the strip trade.
Again, specialists cannot always control
the markets, and all markets cannot be
controlled alike. In Springfield is a
prominent lawyer and a wealthy druggist
who keep bees largely for pleasure. To-
gether they produced nearly two thousand
pounds of nice comb honey, which they
sell Mt l25 cents per pound in trade. That
knocks me out, as | want cash, while an
opulent lawyer or merchant can very easily
consume that much IN groceries. Again,
here is an old. retired farmer, who putters
with bees largely as pastme, and he finds
it very convenient to pay for his groceries
in the same way. What do these men
want with combinations: They take no
interest III the honey business, properly
speaking, and could not be prevailed upon
to join any combination. And there are
enough of such men to defeat any pool
that might be formed in a flush season.

Hints for Hoasekeepcrs.

INDIAN meal should be purchased in
small quantities and kept covered.
WHITING or ammonia in the water is
preferable to soap for cleaning windows or
paint.

burning on the stove will prevent any dis
agreeable odor.
\ VEGETABLE acid, such as lemon Juice
or cider. is said to he a sure specific for
most cases of scarlet fever.
PICKLES should never be kept in glazed
ware, as the vinegar forms poisonous
compound with the glazing.
NEvER scratch the ears with ANYTHING
but the finger if they itch. Do not use the
head of pin, hairpins, pencil tips or any
thing OF that nature.
MIXTURE which is said to be a cure
for undue rerspiTaton of the hands is
made of a quarter of an ounce of powdered
alum, the white Of one egg, and enough

Beneffs OF DSUiuuge,

There Is no doubt that stagnant water IN
land Is most injurious to vegetation, and
although 1t may be ever so fertile, no crop
of any value can be produced by 1t when
In that condition. Its effect upon pastures
is to encourage the growth of number
OF seml-aquatic plants, which are devoid
of any useful property, and they and the
dampness combined tend in many in
stances to engender unhealthiness and dis
ease in those animals which Craze upon
them. The surface layers of soil in
healthy state are more or less in an open
and porous condition, so that air and the
essence, so TO speak, resulting from the
decay of organic matter are freely perco-
lated through them. 1t is necessary for
the healthy growth of plant-life that the
soil should be in this state in order to pre-
pare new supplies of fertillZing matter for
their absorption. Should the land, how
ever, be in such a state that its interstices
or air passages are filled continually with
water, it is evident that the requisite
alterations cannot take place. 1t is there
fore necessary to resort in these cases to
system OF drainage, as to draw off all
supertuous water that may be lodging in
the soil, and thereby promote a means by
which the water falling on the surface may
pass away freely. Among other beneficial
effects consequent on drainage IS that the
sun mas q more direct influence IN lmpart-
ing heat to the soil, thus raising its tenn
perature, which results III vegetation being
forced earlier IN he season and Fastening
its growth. The soil is also brought into
a tit state for being benefited by the APP
phcation of manure, which, if laid on those
in Il wet and undrained condition, would
have but slight influence upon them. and
after the drainage of pastures the inferior
grasses gradually disappear, which are re-
placed by others of richer and more
abundant character.

Mr.. NJ. W. Stratton, of Reading, Kansas,
gives his experience with tile drainage in
the Breeders G0<ete as follows: One
year ago | laid about 5000 feet of drain
tile, varying IN size from three to six
inches. My land is bottom and second
bottom, and on a field of 100 acres was
shallow pond of water of an acre or more
and a flat ravine that took the overflow of
water from several hundred acres OF land
above me. The ravine and most Of the
pond I could pillow in a dry time, but could
never raise much but weeds upon it. The
water would stand upon it for DAYS and
weeks after a rain, destroying the crop,
and also preventing the pillow or cultiyator
from passing through those places in the
field. | dug a trench about a foot wide at
the top and six or eight inches wide Mt the
bottom, and from thirty to forty inches
deep. The trench was made smooth and
level on the bottom, and with a fall of
from one to two inches to the rod (one
inch will do, SO there would be no dead
or back water in the thing a low place in
the tile will fill with sand or mud and pre-
vent part or all of the outlet.
Three or four inch tile is large enough
for draining a slope where the land is wet
or springy, and Will carry off the water so
1t can be plowed in a day or two after a
rain, and the slope will he as dry as the
upland. But in this wide ravine | put six
inch tile, and here, where We had planted
corn for five years past and never got much
but weeds, only now and then an ear of
corn, this year we raised the best corn we
had, about sixty bushels to the acre. We
also put sIx-inch tile through the pond
hole. and now no water stands IN it over
twenty-four hours after rain. Here
had corn that would go fifty bushels to
the acre. I think We have ten acres of land
III this 120-acre field that heretofore WAS
waste land, and it ran across the field in
such a way as to hinder working it some
times for a week after rain, but now we
can pillow or cultivate where the tile is in as
we'll the next day after a rain as we can
the driest part of the field.

IN THE LANE.

And art thou then, my heart, too old
Ever to leap with love again,
To feel the strong blood-torrent rolled
Through heaving breast and teeming
brain?
Is it no more, my heart. for thee
Lies one unquestioned ecstacy?
Are faded quite those dim, far days
When music mothered every sound
When up and down youths happy ways
Fared glories on eternal round?
Has chill OF years killed every Joy
That blossomed for the wandering boy?
These are the trees once known SO well
We felt to them all but beknown;
Their very shadow we could tell
From Others by the forest thrown,
The same glad songs from bush and Dough
As once we heard, we hear them now.
A.i these sweet flowers beneath my feet,
Their young eyes greet us as OF yore.
The hope, there! Still they think to meet
Her glance that shall not answer more
To us alone it cannot be
They re looking up 80 tenderly.
This is the same gray path we took
Behind the slowly day;
AS they do now, the light leaves shook
When evening breezes blew this way;
And there's the glow upon the dome,
And here the cows are coming home.
Ah no, good heart, thou still canst stir,
Still lives the love first bid thee leap:
Still are we at the side of her
They laid away meath yonder steep.
Though clods be on her and a stone,
In the dear old lane we're not alone.

WHY Won BuLow WAS BOUNCED.

Berlin Special: Last evening the ROYAL
opera house here was the scene of the fol-
lowing almost incredible and upheard OF in
cident: 1t was the first night of new
opera, entitled merlin" by a new COM
poser, Philip Ruffer by name, and among
those who crowded to see the novelty was
Hans Won Bulow. the illustrious pianist
Herr Won Bulow, who was accompanied by
his wife, had entered the lobby and was in
the act of handing his things to the wardrobe
keeper when he was unceremoniously &C.
costed by the liveried porter of the house
and told that he must Withdraw. Highly
astonished at the singular interruption,
the great pianist showed the two
tickets which he had purchased,
and begged that he and his wife
might be allowed to take uninterrupted pos
session of their seats But the liveried IAN
itor said that he was only acting on orders
givea him by his master, Count Hochberg
the new 1ntendant general of the royal thea
tiers, and limited that if force had to be used
there were policemen at hand who would
readily assist him in the execution of his
duty Hearing this. Hans Won Bulow made
no resistance, but, giving his arm to his wife,
left the precincts OF the opera into which he
had thus been refused admittance by an
emphatic threat Of brute force. 1t appears
that the authorities of the opera had some
how got wind of Won Bulow's intended visit
and provided the porters and doorkeepers
with copies OF his photograph, in order that
they might thus be able to employ the means
used for the detection of common Criminals
in waylaying their man.
And what was the motive for this Outrage2
1t is true that during recent visit to Prague
Herr Won Bulow spoke in unbecoming terms
OF eulogy of the musical talents of the
Czechs; but still graver grudge against him

Death Before Dishonor.

A soldier CHARTERED in the barracks
in the Place de la Republique, Paris,
committed suicide under painful Cir
cumstances. He was strolling about a
fortnight ago with some comrades,
when they stopped to contemplate
the goods displayed at a bazaar in
the neighborhood. The party had
been indulging in a tavern hard by,
and took up and trifed with some OF
the things. In the morning, to his con-
sternation, the man learned that he
had to go to the lookup for a week
for theft, and that he would probably
be court-mar tailed. He had put q
small notebook valued at one penny
in his pocket, and protested that at
the time he did not know what he
was doing. AS he was being led to
prison, he suddenly slipped away,
and, running to the window, with the
cry: Farewell, my friends, 1 am not
thief" leaped out OF it head fore
most. He was picked up and taken to
the military hospital in q dying state.
At his earnest request, his captain
was sent for. and he had sufficient
strength left him to explain that he
had slipped the notebook quite mad
vertently into his pocket, and that he
preferred to die rather than be brand
ed as thief. He implored his officers
to tell him that he was innocent, and
the captain, deeply moved, had just
time to take his hand ere he expired.

is the fact that several years ago he once, in
an eccentric and impulsive moment, referred
to the opera at Berlin as the sCircus Hulsen. !"
Herr Won Hulsen used to be Intendant Gen
eral of the royal theaters.
The news of this unparalleled act has sent
a shock through all right thinking and free
dom-loving men in this capital There is
only one organ of public opinion, as far as l
can see. and that is the Rest, whose sense of
right and wrong permits it TO write that sit
cannot surprise people to hear of his having
been refused admittance into the house
which he vituperated" 1t is with better
gift of reading the hearts of it's readers that
the National Zeitung protests against the
treatment offered to one of Germany's great
est masters as monstrous breach of COM
mon courtesy and civilized manners.
